I just finished the final panel of the final page of the final ish of my purloined idea. I wrote nine pages tonight, and it just seemed to flow. I really like what I”ve got, but I know it will need some proofing and some editing. But, at least it is done for now. I [...]

I went to Supanova on the weekend in Sydney. It was an interesting affair, my first con since one in the mid/late 90’s. The thing that really hit me was the smells. It was like an International House of Food, that has gone off five months after a zombie apocalypse. I have no idea why [...]

I was just listening to some old Ed Norton interviews about the Hulk and I was amazed at how he talks about it all. I knew that he had written the screenplay to the latest movie, in which he stars, even if he didn’t end up getting the WGA credit for it. So I knew [...]

I have holidays coming up and I’m kind of stockpiling jobs that I want to do during them. I have two weeks and I’ll be spending the first week in one town and the second week in another, so planning is essential. I will not be at home with my usual array of toys. I [...]

Just finished the third issue of my purloined idea. The final scene, a big fight involving demons, flying, barbed tails, a bit of self-referentialism and a cliffhanger has been hanging over me for what feels like the better part of a week. I just didn’t know exactly what would happen. I finally got it down [...]

It’s a good birthday when you get to kick back, feet on the bed, and read Matt Fraction’s Thor: Ages of Thunder. I’ve been waiting all month to get to it, and it was completely worth the wait. I can only imagine that it has already gotten better with age, the awesomeness fermenting between the [...]

I have gone four straight days without writing. It sucks. I find myself questioning my skills, my motivation, my lot in life. I also find myself reflecting on a very nice long weekend away. I try not to stress. I’ll write again. Won’t we all…? Tonight I sit down, there’s a million distractions, but there’s [...]

I bought some art. I don’t think I’ve ever bought art before. I’ve bought posters, plenty of posters, but never any art, and especially not real art. I’ve mentioned Mitch Breitweiser before. He’s just a guy, you know, a guy drawing Captain America: The Chosen and getting himself listed on the Wizard Top Ten Artists [...]

Marko Djurdjevic is a genius, there is no other way to put it. I first noticed his work on the covers for Daredevil. His cover of DD and Gladiator wrestling on the ground just blew me away. It was the sort of picture you just wanted to sit close to and really look at for [...]
